Digital Image and Speech Processing

The digital image processing deals with developing a digital system that performs operations on a digital image.An image is nothing more than a two dimensional signal. It is defined by the mathematical function f(x y) where x and y are the two co-ordinates horizontally and vertically and the amplitude of f at any pair of coordinate (x y) is called the intensity or gray level of the image at that point.When x y and the amplitude values of f are all finite discrete quantities we call the image a digital image. The field of image digital image processing refers to the processing of digital image by means of a digital computer.A digital image is composed of a finite number of elements each of which has a particular location and values of these elements are referred to as picture elements image elements and pixels
